Lorelei: Thanks, Mr. Foote. Never been t'a pharma...pharma...drug warehouse 'fore. Foote: You're from...Mindmist? Lorelei: I don't live there...but I work with those who do a lot. Why?Foote: This is the shell of a tortoise I accidentally killed-- months ago--near the Mindmist exit. Lorelei: Awwwww... Foote: The odd thing is...I think she was a suicide. A martyr.

Foote (Caption): I was driving late at night--and a huge tortoise was in the middle of the road. I couldn't stop in time. I got out afterward, inspecting the damage--Foote (Captioin): Three tortoise hatchlings were crossing--their mother sacrificing herself for their safety---unremarkable? Maybe. Except-- Lorelei (Caption): Tortoises watch eggs--never care f'hatchlings. Foote (Caption): Exactly, Lorelei. Defying ingrained instincts--she chose self-sacrifice.
